Top executives of the Florida Caribbean Cruise Association (FCCA) met with
representatives of the local cruise sector Thursday to discuss, among other
things, regional trends in cruising, avenues for greater collaboration between
the destination and cruise lines and St. Lucia’s plans for port Castries to
become a premier cruise port. Addressing
Thursday’s meeting at Sandals St. Lucia Golf Resort and Spa, Minister for
Tourism and Civil Aviation, Honourable Menissa Rambally, made an appeal for the
identification of realistic proposals for translating vocal support into
practical initiatives to benefit cruise tourism in St. Lucia. Ms. Rambally also indicated that St. Lucia has put in place the infrastructural requirements for cruise tourism and developed a diversity of on shore activities. Much effort, she noted, has been put into areas such as training, capacity building and certification of vendors and taxi drivers to ensure the safety and comfort of all visiting passengers. |
